Amazon Textract review

Amazon Textract ranks seventh because it has the lowest published price for invoice extraction but leaves the workflow to your developers. The pricing page lists five APIs. Analyze Expense, which reads invoices and receipts, costs $0.01 per page for the first million pages in US West (Oregon) and $0.008 after that. Detect Document Text costs $0.0015 per page, and Analyze Document charges per feature, with forms, tables, queries and signatures priced separately. Queries let a developer ask for a field in plain language, and Custom Queries adapters tune Textract for business-specific documents. Analyze Lending classifies and extracts mortgage documents at $0.07 per page. New AWS customers get a three-month free tier with 100 Analyze Expense pages a month. There is no screen for an AP clerk to correct fields, so most finance teams pair Textract with their own review tool or pick a platform instead.
